Along the way, his creations have encompassed repertoire that cross-pollinates genres including rock, blues, jazz, fusion, soul, folk, new age, classical, and even country. Inevitably, E.J. says it best himself: “It really boils down to the music and the song at the end of the day…. If it doesn’t have that, it gets boring for me. The most important thing for me is to grow musically and make a more expansive and meaningful artistic statement with every new project.”

New Mexico Shakespeare Festival: Comedy of Errors
2023-06-29 | NM
7:30 pm
Bringing Shakespeare to Life in New Mexico! The New Mexico Shakespeare Festival believes that Shakespeare is for everyone – whether you’ve seen dozens of plays or none at all. You are invited to join them on the National Hispanic Cultural Center Plaza Mayor to enjoy a wonderful performance!
Comedy of Errors | Directed by Paul Ford
Free community event. Tickets will be available at the event one hour prior to the performance.

Director’s Note: It could be argued that Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors has no socially redeeming value. A very young William Shakespeare cobbled together his own take on several ancient Roman comedies – zapped it with a modern sensibility – wrote in better jokes – added more plot twists – and included a dash of his growing romantic brilliance – and voilà. It’s all that and it is more. It is filled with mad-dash playful action interrupted by stand-up routines – mistaken identities and their hilarious consequences – melodramatic longing and joyous reunions.
At its heart, is a play about the exuberance of youth. The Comedy of Errors does not shed new light on the human condition or plumb the depths of the human psyche. It throws a brilliant and playful spotlight on the simple follies of humble humans. It is a play about us. How nice of Shakespeare to send us this giggling love letter 400 years ago. He knew we would open it with glee.

New Mexico Shakespeare Festival: A Midsummer Night's Dream
2023-07-06 | NM
7:30 pm
Bringing Shakespeare to Life in New Mexico! The New Mexico Shakespeare Festival believes that Shakespeare is for everyone – whether you’ve seen dozens of plays or none at all. You are invited to join them on the National Hispanic Cultural Center’s Plaza Mayor and enjoy a wonderful performance!
A Midsummer Night’s Dream | Directed by Julia Thudium
Free community event. Tickets will be available at the event one hour prior to the performance.

Director’s Note: ​If Samhain or Halloween is the night, where the veils between the living and the dead are thin, in many cultures, Midsummer is the night that the Faeries come out and play, the night when you dance around the bonfire in the forest, only to realize you are not dancing alone and when you open your eyes the next morning, you’re not sure if what you experienced was real or simply a vision.
This performance is set in the magical moment between waking and sleeping – the slow surfacing from the depths of your dreamscape – the liminal space on the threshold of beginning. In order to have a beginning you need to have a before-time. It’s here where we find our Midsummer. The Italians have a word for this before-time: Dormiveglia, the space that stretches between sleeping and waking. Not many people know this, but it is in this place that the Faeries rule. Everything is possible in the moments you dwell here; the sweet, the sad, the irreverent and the ridiculous. If you know me, you know I prefer the ridiculous over just about anything.
Last year when I took on As You Like It, I coined it the “Party Show” of the Festival. This year is something a little different. This year we are THE HEART show. I invite you to let yourself sink here in this moment in the no-time. Let yourself be enchanted and pause in the mystic doorway with us.

Opera Southwest: Bluebeard’s Castle with Doctor Atomic
2023-10-22 - 2023-10-29 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
Oct. 22, 27 & 29
2:00 pm Sundays
7:30 pm Friday
Enter Bluebeard’s Castle if you dare!
Just in time for Halloween, Opera Southwest presents a double bill of thrills and chills! First, join us for Bartok’s chilling one-act opera, Bluebeard’s Castle. Then, dive into the psychological horror story of the Doctor Atomic Symphony, based on the Doctor Atomic opera by John Adams. This symphony tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the first successful atom bomb.
$22, $42, $63, $85, $105 with discounts for groups of 8 or more, anyone 30 years old and younger and Opera for All with a WIC or EBT card.

First on the bill, Bluebeard’s Castle, the story of Judith, the young new wife of the menacing Duke Bluebeard, who unlocks the seven forbidden doors in her husband’s castle and is eventually confronted by the women he has already loved and murdered.
This production has us working with two senior set artists from Meow Wolf: Lance Ryan McGoldrick and David Cudney. In this symbolist opera, each room is assigned a color. The two artists are working with the traditional themes while interpreting them using modern technology and their specialized skills. McGoldrick and Cudney have been collaborating for a decade and they’re bringing all their artistic experience to the scenic design of this production. They’re creating atmospheric effects, sculptures, and projections that will enhance the seven secret rooms as Judith insists on unlocking each door of her new husband’s castle.
Next up, the Doctor Atomic Symphony performed by the OSW opera orchestra with projections. In this atmospheric composition, Adams presents highlights from the full opera, with instrumental treatments of the story and themes.
“With the incredible interest in Oppenheimer unleashed by this summer’s blockbuster movie, Oppenheimer, Opera Southwest decided to revisit the music of the popular new opera by John Adams, Doctor Atomic, by presenting the Doctor Atomic Symphony on the opening program of our 51st season,” said Tony Zancanella, OSW Executive Director. “As a small & nimble company, we are sometimes able to pivot programmatically to meet a broader cultural moment.” “There are all of these striking thematic and symbolic cross-connections between these works, which delve deep into the psychology of their central subjects as they tackle dark and morally complex themes.” said Artistic Director Anthony Barrese.
Run time: 2 hours 30 minutes, including one intermission.

Film: Americonned Documentary: New Mexico Premier
2023-10-29 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Bank of America Theatre, 1701 4th Street SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
5:00 pm
Golden Goose Kitchen presents Americonned. The super-rich determines virtually every aspect of the lives of the other 90% of Americans. This film examines the hidden struggles of American families, the calculated political maneuvers of the elite, and the long overdue uprising of American workers. With affection for the middle-class and the outrageous attempt to color them as lazy, the film explores the question: How do we make sure workers are paid what they are worth, instead of believing they are only worth what they are paid?
There will be a panel discussion following the screening.
$25 w/ $5 discount for students and seniors

AMP Concerts: Brian Culbertson
2024-03-22 | NM
7:30 pm
AMP Concerts presents Brian Culbertson. Over the course of crafting a 25-album catalog and architecting nearly 40 Billboard No. 1 singles as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, Brian Culbertson has charted his own unique course in music. Label him jazz and he makes a funk record. Call him an R&B artist and he drops an acoustic jazz trio collection. Brand him pop and he creates a 32-minute New Age opus. And you’d be hard pressed to name another instrumentalist of his ilk who can mount an elaborately designed concert production that will keep him on the road for three consecutive months.
$37, $47, $57, and $132
Approximate time of event: 2 hours including intermission.
